Module 4 CFR PART 21

Module 4

INTRODUCTION​

(CFR PART 21)

Federal Aviation Regulations

FARs, are rules prescribed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) governing all aviation activities in the United States. The FARs are part of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). 

INTRODUCTION

• The rules are designed to promote safe aviation, protecting pilots, flight attendants, passengers and the general public from unnecessary risk. 

• Since 1958, these rules have typically been referred to as "FARs", short for Federal Aviation Regulations. However, another set of regulations (Title 48) is titled "Federal Acquisitions Regulations", and this has led to confusion with the use of the acronym "FAR". Therefore, the FAA began to refer to specific regulations by the term "14 CFR part XX".

A wide variety of activities are regulated, such as aircraft design and maintenance, typical airline flights, pilot training activities, hot-air ballooning, lighter-than-air aircraft, man-made structure heights, obstruction lighting and marking, and even model rocket launches, model aircraft operation, and kite flying. 

ORGANIZATION

• The FARs are organized into sections, called parts due to their organization within the CFR. Each part deals with a specific type of activity.

• For example, 14 CFR Part 141 contains rules for pilot training schools. 

• Many of the FARs are designed to regulate certification of pilots, schools, or aircraft rather than the operation of airplanes.

ORGANIZATION

• Once an airplane design is certified using some parts of these regulations, it is certified regardless of whether the regulations change in the future.

• For that reason, newer planes are certified using newer versions of the FARs, and in many aspects may be thus considered safer designs.

SPECIAL FEDERAL AVIATION REGULATIONS (SFAR)

• Can only be temporary

• May be renewed

• It is used in special circumstances

• Still a regulation that must be complied

Private, commuter, and commercial

• For pilots, there is an important distinction in the parts that address classes of flight. These parts do not distinguish type of aircraft, but rather type of activity done with the aircraft. 

• Regulations for commuter and commercial aviation are far more intensive than those for general aviation, and specific training is required. Hence, flights are often referred to as Part XX operations, to specify which one of the different sets of rules applies in a particular case. 

Part 61 or Part 141

Also, flight schools will often designate themselves as Part 61 or Part 141 to distinguish between different levels of training and different study programs they could offer to the students.
